[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 497700, member: 4238"] Here's a few more progress pics from the last couple days. A lot of time was spent just mapping out in my head how all the wiring and plumbing is going to be routed and tacking on zip tie tabs etc. to secure everything. I did get a few more things done though. I welded up and painted the fire extinguisher mounts I got from JDuck. These things are really nice, you can't beat them for the money. I'm going to mount one inside where I can reach it while i'm strapped in, and one in the back around the motor somewhere. I'm thinking I'll probably go with the ColdFire extinguishers.
